Famous quotes containing the word thought:

    And oh, I knew, I knew,
    And said out loud, I couldn’t bide the smother
    And heat so close in; but the thought of all
    The woods and town on fire by me, and all
    The town turned out to fight for me that held me.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
